I am a Registered Psychotherapist currently studying AEP with Betty Cannon. As a result of my own powerful experience with therapy, I began a journey to seek out the most skilled teachers from all over the world, from India to Illinois, from Buddhist meditation to behavioral psychology, to help me open up, take risks, and allow myself to be vulnerable. These experiences have humbled me, given me a profound respect for the courage it takes to grapple with what life brings our way, and has enabled me to provide the kind of space for my clients that was provided for me.

I work with individuals and groups and the majority of my practice is based on AEP techniques. Currently, I am offering services on a sliding scale/income based fee structure. See www.shannonmharrison.com for more information.

As a registered psychotherapist, with an emphasis on Client Centered Therapy, I respect and try to enhance the innate wisdom of the client. I am trained in and use the modalities of Gestalt, Applied Existential Psychotherapy and Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy. I use these to promote insight, warmth and connection and provide a safe container for healing.
